My only fear is that Cedega will remain a freeware program, but without good support from its developers. If a project like this is no longer being worked on, it will be as good as dead in the next year or two -- meaning that you won't likely be able to use it for newer games.

Considering the sorry state of Cedega's Eve Online port, that was far worse than Wine running the Windows version, even though Cedega got paid for that mess, I'm not sure there's enough life left to Cedega for it to be able to die.

CrossOver has application-specific hacks and copy protection support bolted onto Wine, which you pay for. GameTree offers the same (they think) at no cost. The catch here is that Wine and CrossOver are in much better shape than Cedega and GameTree.

And that the CrossOver developers contribute their work back to Wine (which is open source).

That's better than a annual-subscription program without good support from its developers, which is what I think Cedega was before this announcement.
